Pininfarina
Zagato
Vignale
Giannini
Bertone
Ital Design/Giugiaro
Boano
Boneschi
Fissore

There's a well-known Italian coachbuilder that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Tjaarda : no
Touring : YES !

That was the easy part ;)

Now look for the designer, the project name and the year.

Not 1966. And you're quite far from the answer.

Aldo Sessano was not involved.

Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni was the head of Touring when the puzzle's car was designed, but he was not its designer.

1952 is correct !

Not Giugiaro. He was only 14 in 1952, and this car hasn't been designed by a youngster.

Might this be a concept drawing for the Hudson X-161 (a four door variant of the Hudson Italia coupe) designed by Frank Spring?

No, no relation with that car or that designer.

Remember the hint I gave earlier : "it was indeed the first car designed by the designer you have to find". It will take you further than you think.

It's a design for an Alfa Romeo by Gio Ponti for Touring, 1952-54

No mention of a project name in the book which covers this car, but it seems it was known as the 'Diamante'
